Index Introduction

        The index (stock index), is a relative indicator reflecting the stock price movements in different periods. The price changes and the profit or loss caused by price changes are reflected and presented by CFD. Through various global stock index products, you can indirectly understand the economic situation of the United States, Germany, Australia and Japan. Consider the current development trends of each market, and choose the right market for trading according to personal goals, return on investment, and risk tolerance.

Why invest in stock index?

Risk Hedging

You can buy or sell a single index trade without restrictions on stop and limit trading. Multiple stock indices establish stop loss, limit price and pending orders without a minimum distance limit.

Low Cost

Relative to stocks, the cost of engaging in futures trading is only commission. The transaction does not have to pay the stamp duty and the exchange fee, and the profits brought by the transaction do not have to pay the asset value-added tax.

Rich Variety

HC provides diversified stock index products. In addition to the stock indexes in the financial sector, it also provides stock indexes that focus on high-tech, high-growth and non-financial stocks, or stock indexes that take into account expected dividend returns.

Price Discovery

The price formed by the stock index can be recognized by all parties because there are many investors involved, and these investors have rich experiences, and the price thus formed directly represents the relationship between supply and demand. This produces a real, effective, and authoritative price.

Transaction Description Profit/Loss
